EVerything is in the process of being returned. I've sifting through alot of pms.

A few days ago I logged into gaia and re-edited this post to update everyone on what's going on but apparently it didn't save.

I was just told by my employer (by just told i mean like last week) that I'd be going out of town for 2 months for work. I'm excited and not excited. Excited to get away from teh snow in ny but not excited cause I'll have no internet access for 2 months and it's gonna be work from sun up to sun down.

yeah yeah. alot of ppl are pissed at me. i can't help that. bite your tongues and save your comments for when someone cares.

i just dont have the time. im working on finding a way to pack up my computer and move it when i leave for work but i don't know if the company is going to pay for that. im still trying to work that out with them.

anyways, its the same old line. i'm sorry.

Welcome____________________
_____Welcome to The Avatar Survival Contest v5.0. For anyone who is new, ASC is a single elimination Avatar Contest that lasts a month long. We start out with 29 avatars and it ends with 1 winner. Each night someone new is elimted based on votes by the judges and host(s).

Contest Setup____________________
_____The contest begins on February 1st.

Each night we will PM everyone to notify them that we need their avatars for the next day. Contestants will PM me back and make sure to be wearing your entry for that day and don't change until we notify you that I have your image saved. If you are not WEARING you entry, it is invalid. Why? Because there are too many avatar simulator programs out there. This is not a contest of who can create the best avatar with a simulator.

You must PM me back before 10pm EST. If there is a problem due to work or something, please PM me the night before. If you do not have your avatar in on time, you will be disqualified.

All entries will be posted here in the thread for everyone to see.

The person with the most votes will be voted off. Everyone else will go on to the next day, the process will repeat until one avatar is left.

The Prize____________________

__... prize will also include a Febryary 'O6 letter
__... will include any and all donations
__... maybe something extra. :O no guarentees.

Donations____________________
__... are greatly appreciated
__... please send them to ASC_Host
__... will be added to the prize bucket

Judging____________________
_____If you are interested in judging, PM ASC_Host with a breif summary of why you would make a good judge.

_____Everyday we will make a big group image of all the avatars in the category. We will post the image in this thread and PM all the judges to let them know we posted it. The judges will look them over and PM me their decision for 3 least favorite avatars and 3 favorite avatars before 10pm EST. If we don't get all results in then that judges votes do not count for that day obviously.

Votes will tallied and the avatar with the most negative votes will be voted off. Those with the most positive votes at the end of the week will get a prize.

Extra Notes____________________
__... We will PM all contestants before the start of the contest to let them know it's starting.
__... Make sure to have at least your first day avatar ready.
__... There are no refunds of entry fee after January 28th.

Name: Nikki (iheartjrock)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Favorite item(s): Bani Clips, Steel-plated Ninja Band, ZONY Discman, DJ Studio Headphones, scarves, Spirited items, Wind Security Blanket (Up)
Least favorite item(s): Horns of the demon, whips, buck teeth, pitchforks, the mole, Lunar Cloak (twin moon), Nitemare scarf (ugliest possible accesory on Gaia)
Why ASC?: I love the fact that everyone has the same exact items to work with to come up with their own creative avatars. I love seeing how unique some people can make their avi. I wanted to join, because I think I can bring an unbaised view, that judges not on how expensive an avatar is, but how asthetically pleasing it is. I can't wait to see what people come up with in response to the themes. ^_^v
Bio: I tend to be very opinionated, and I think that'll help in this contest. If you use one of my least favourite items, you'll have a hard time getting a good vote from me. However, if you use them in a way that I think makes your outfit complete, then I'll probably grudgingly accept the greatness of it xD

Name: Cinema
Age: _ _
Gender: Femaaale.
Favorite item(s): Nitemare Headband & the lion fishmasks.
Least favorite item(s): Buck teeth.
Why ASC?: Ever since I started Gaia, I've watched this competition. I like it a lot & seeing as I'm not creative enough to enter in myself, why not try judging out? : )
Bio: Err, I'm an artist & Exchanger.. and I'm very opinionated. Hooray. <33
